Pre & Post-Natal Massage in Islington
Specialist support for every stage of motherhood.
Pregnancy and early parenthood are times of huge change: physically, emotionally, and practically. Alongside the excitement, it’s normal to feel the strain of new responsibilities, disrupted sleep, and a body adapting in ways that can sometimes be uncomfortable.
Our pregnancy massage and postnatal massage treatments are designed to support you through these transitions. Gentle yet effective, safe, and restorative, they help ease tension, reduce pain, and offer a moment of calm to reconnect with yourself.
What is Pregnancy Massage?
Prenatal Massage
Your treatment is always adapted to your stage of pregnancy and comfort levels. We use safe, side-lying positioning with plenty of pillows and supports so you feel completely at ease throughout your session.
Modern research shows that pregnancy massage can:
- Reduce back, hip, and joint pain
- Relieve tension in shoulders, neck, and legs
- Ease sciatica and headaches
- Reduce swelling and improve circulation
- Support better sleep and relaxation
- Lower stress and anxiety
Post-Natal Massage
Life after birth can be just as demanding as pregnancy. Our post-natal treatments help restore balance, release tension, and support your recovery as you adjust to caring for your baby.
Every session is tailored to your needs — whether that’s gentle relaxation, targeted pain relief, or a mix of both. Post-natal massage can:
- Ease arm, shoulder, and back pain from feeding or carrying your child
- Reduce residual aches from pregnancy and labour
- Support emotional wellbeing and improve sleep
- Provide a restorative break during a demanding time
- Guide you towards gentle movement and a safe return to exercise or sport

- Experienced therapists trained in pregnancy and post-natal care
- Tailored treatments to support every stage of motherhood

I’ve been seeing Biliana for many years now. She’s absolutely incredible at what she does. I’m always recommending her to my friends and clients. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. 10/10!!Posted on Google Bill HeathTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a post hill-walking-trip massage from Lukasz. Excellent. Sorted out my rock hard calves and quadsPosted on Google Michelle ArtissTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ive been using Massage Lab for sometime now. I have had sports massage therapy from most of the therapists now as I have shift work and my times change. I have found all the therapists to have their own individual style but everyone has always been so professional, skilled and effective, especially working on problem areas, easing tension for sleep and keeping general muscle health and maintenance. My latest massage was with new addition Fruzsi and it was an excellent massage. Usually I know if I have had a good massage if I float out and she got rid of my excessive tiredness and muscle aches delivering on more than I asked for with great competence and attention to detail. I definitely recommend and have every confidence in all the therapists and they are all really lovely.Posted on Google Caitlin RoseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
